The Ming Dynasty, declared in 1368 in Nanjing, would prove to be the last Han Chinese imperial rule of China.

Although declared in Nanjing, already in the early 1400's the 3rd Ming emperor moved the imperial court to Beijing. Hence, all Ming emperors were buried in Beijing except for the first, who was buried in Nanjing.

These pages explore each Ming Emperor's mausoleum along with a brief recap of his reign.
